The victim was walking home from her school bus stop on state Route 73 in Hillsboro.

"I kept walking and he kept following me," the girl said.

The girl told police the man approached her on two consecutive days. The first day she ran home, locked the doors and called her grandmother.

"I had the doors locked and I was sitting down in my room, scared to death," the girl said.

On the second day the man became more aggressive after she told him to go away.

"He kept following me and said, 'Are you sure,' he said, 'All you have to do is get in the back seat; there's a puppy in the box back there,'" the girl said. "I screamed at him and said no, and I screamed for my mommy and I ran home."

Hillsboro police said they're taking the report seriously.

They're looking for a small black four-door car with a temporary license plate. The last two numbers of the tag are 37.

The man is described as white, late 20s and had longer sideburns.

A man meeting that description was stopped in New Vienna by police after he was caught following a 28-year-old woman.

He was driving a car that matches the description of the one given. Investigators are still talking to that man, whose name was not released.
